Seeing Huangfu Fan begging for mercy in a panic, Li Tai couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Regardless of their respective official titles, both of them are of average rank within Kai Cao. Even if the other party makes a mess, he does not have the power to punish the other party. Why does this guy have such a low profile?
After hearing Huangfufan's hesitant talk about what his so-called sin was, Li Tai remembered that this guy had offended him before, during last year's parade.
This incident indeed made him very unhappy at the time, but since so much time had passed, Li Tai did not intend to pursue the case any further. The most important thing now was to quickly find out how Kai Cao's internal personnel had become like this.
"Let's not care about the past for now, but what are the details of Kai Cao's case now? Huangfu Jianjun please tell us carefully and don't hide it!"
After the soldiers left behind by Yi Loumu finished cleaning the main hall, Li Tai sat upright in the hall without hesitation and summoned Huangfu Fan, who was still looking uneasy, and several other important officials into the hall to calm down.
said the voice.
"Absolutely, people with lower rank will never dare to hide it..."
Huangfufan expressed his position quickly, and hurriedly organized and submitted the accounting books related to the case. These accounting books filled several large boxes, and the matters that were judged to be important in the drama accounted for nearly half.
Li Tai frowned when he saw this scene.
Although he has not been working in Taifu for a long time, the administrative procedures of all Cao Cao in Taifu still follow the examination method he created. The affairs of Cao Cao are divided into four levels: drama, Yao, leisure and miscellaneous. There are extremely strict time regulations for drama and important affairs.
, failure to complete it within the stipulated time is a very serious dereliction of duty.
Now there are hundreds of important matters that Li Tai has seen before his eyes, all of which need to be dealt with urgently. However, seeing the expressions of the people in the hall, they seem to be indifferent to this.
Li Taixian snorted coldly, grabbed a accounting book and browsed it, and found that the matter was not complicated at all. It was nothing more than distributing a certain number of armors and equipment to a certain army within a limited time. This was also considered one of the basic affairs of Kai Cao.
one.
Production, maintenance, repair, purchase and storage, and allocation of various types of armor and ordnance are the main contents of Kai Cao's work. Li Tai randomly selected a few accounting books, and the contents were mostly related to this. Although the amount of ordnance involved was not small, the amount of ordnance involved was not small.
The thing itself is not complicated.
However, because of this, Li Tai also became more and more angry. If things were complicated and difficult, it would be fine if they were accumulated, but apparently simple things were squeezed out so much. No wonder Yiloumu, a foreign soldier who joined the army, wanted to show up here.
If Li Tai is angry, if the matters he is responsible for are delayed like this, he will have to demolish the whole hall!
Seeing Li Tai's frown deepening, Huangfu Fan and others secretly thought something was wrong. He quickly picked out the accounting book from another box and presented it to him. He also quickly explained: "The humble people dare not delay the work. The reason for the case is
There are other reasons for severe squeezing..."
While listening to his explanation, Li Tai opened the accounting book. He didn't think it was important, and his face suddenly became more ugly: "Since the beginning of the year, there have been no items in the arsenal?"
"Yes, the Commander-in-Chief read it right. At the beginning of the year, the Sixth Army was reorganized and expanded, and armor and weapons were purchased frequently. The arsenal was not rich in the first place, and was quickly depleted. In the past period, it was all due to the new construction of Xia Yang and other smelters, as well as the internal and external
The armies are in a hurry to make up for the shortage and make up for the shortage. But now that the great parade is coming, all the armies need everything they need..."
Huangfu Fan said with a bitter look on his face, the so-called clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. If a woman in the household cannot cook well, her husband will be disgusted and reprimanded by her husband. They, the Taiwanese government officials in the military supply system, have to deal with mostly arrogant soldiers.
, you can imagine how you will be treated if you don’t do things well.
Things like today's incident where Ilomu led a group of people to knock on the door has happened many times in recent days. Compared with other strong men who really dare to make a deadly move, Ilomu only smashed some case furnishings, which is considered a gentle method.
Already.
Although Liang Rong, another member of Kai Cao's army, said that his mount was convulsed and fell off the horse and was injured, in fact, he was beaten by the soldiers of the Sixth Army who repeatedly asked for armor but never got it. These arrogant generals ignored Kai Cao's arsenal.
Whether you have anything or not, or whether you can see my armor or not, is your problem.
Damn, I got tricked again!
After Li Tai learned about this situation, he cursed secretly in his heart. He knew that Yu Wentai was not so kind and arranged for him, a big rat, to guard the rice warehouse. It turned out that the warehouse was already empty, so he asked him to come over and take the blame.
Taking it out!
Although he was complaining in his heart, since he had taken over this mess, he couldn't just leave without doing anything. He wanted to do this, but Yu Wentai might not agree.
So he once again flipped through those troublesome accounting books and carefully inquired about the personnel details in the official office. He put all the clues together in his mind and gradually outlined a general trend of the deterioration of Kai Cao's affairs.
The regime of the Western Wei Dynasty has always been a military-first political system with the military as the dominant force. Therefore, all military-related matters are given great importance and have a high priority. Kai Cao, who is affiliated with Daxingtai Mansion, is no exception.
At first, what Kai Cao managed was only the armored armed forces of the soldiers in Dahang's account, and his authority and personnel were very limited. However, after several battles, especially the Battle of Shayuan, the Western Wei army made huge gains.
, naturally also needed to manage and digest these spoils of war, so Kai Cao grew stronger in terms of personnel and authority.
The largest number of Kai Cao's personnel was around the eighth year of Datong, when the Sixth Army was initially established, and all weapons and weapons were raised by Kai Cao. During this period, Kai Cao was in charge of thousands of soldiers and slave laborers both inside and outside the Bafu.
It requires someone of Su Chuo's level to be an important member of the hegemony and lead it.
But after the glory comes loneliness. With so many personnel concentrated in one Cao, it is inevitable that the efficiency will be low and things will be chaotic. Some of Cao Cao's powers will gradually be stripped away.
As of now, Kai Cao is no longer responsible for the production of armor and weapons. He is only responsible for the deployment of active military weapons and weapons, damage accounting and other literary matters. He also has a workshop composed of hundreds of skilled craftsmen, specially used to repair and supply senior generals.
of fine armor.
The various reserves of the Western Wei Dynasty were so-so, and they could barely be maintained before. They were mainly distributed through mobile distribution. Except for some military rations responsible for specific combat and garrison tasks, other military equipment had a certain period of use, and when it returned, it would be replaced by armor.
Cao assigned other people to use it.
But now that the big parade is coming, all the armies need to be carefully equipped to strive for an excellent performance, so they directly ran on Kai Cao and liquidated their positions.
Li Tai flipped through the ordnance information recorded within Kai Cao. This can be said to be the core family situation of Yuwentai Bafu. It was also the first time for him to come into contact with this information. After reading it, he could only say that it was very shabby. No wonder Yuwentai
On weekdays, he looks like he is digging around.
But as for armor, the number of various types of armor recorded by Kai Cao is slightly over 50,000. This number is quite impressive in isolation, but nearly half of them are not metal armor, and half-body armor in metal armor exceeds full-body armor.
The number, if we look at the elite soldiers with men, horses and armor, is still less than a thousand.
Moreover, these are all literal data, which can only show that Bafu once had these armored weapons for a short period of time, but it is not certain whether they still have them now.
Because during the use of armor, various situations such as wear and tear and loss will occur. If it is an ordnance used by Chinese soldiers and horses directly under Bafu, the damage and loss can also be summarized in Kai Cao.
However, the increase and loss of ordnance scattered under the command of various public houses will not be uniformly recorded by the Taifu Kaicao. In other words, even if you take off all these armors and arm them for your cronies, the Taifu will not be able to control them.
Just like the ten pieces of bright light armor given to Li Tai by Daxingtai before, it was stated that they were only for temporary use, but Li Tai regretfully said that he had lost them. This is still the answer when you think about it and ask.
I forgot to mention it, I am too lazy to say it. And taking advantage of the convenience of joining the army this time as Kai Cao, I directly checked off the entry and exit records of these ten armors!
Li Tai simulated the situation of enriching his own pocket in his mind, and he immediately felt that the fate of the country was worrying. It was hard to say how many of the tens of thousands of armors Kai Cao had on the list.
Of course, even if everyone buys these armors into private households, the main reason is to fight against the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but it will be very troublesome for the Kai Cao who is responsible for managing and deploying these armors.
There are three main ways to increase armor. One is the production of various government-made smelting and casting workshops, the second is war seizures, and the third is private donations. Except for the first increase method, which is relatively stable, the other two methods fluctuate.
Very big.
The problem that Kai Cao is facing now is that there is basically no arsenal storage, and the armed forces of the armies have a huge gap. Without a major incremental turnaround, it will be an almost impossible task to provide the armies with enough armor and ordnance before the Grand Review.
When Yu Wentai appointed Li Tai as Kai Cao to join the army, he did not stipulate that he must complete the task. After thinking about it, he knew that his family was too weak, so he just had to do his best.
Li Tai also asked the people in the hall if they had any suggestions to change this situation. No matter whether the operability was high or low, it would at least give him some inspiration.
But everyone just shook their heads when they heard this question, but Huangfu Fan said happily: "Admiral Li is a well-known young celebrity in the world. Now he is in charge of the Kai Cao case. At least he who holds a low-level position no longer has to worry about being criticized.
Humiliation and censure..."
Li Tai rolled his eyes after hearing this, "I'm here just to support you and prevent you from being beaten again?"
Not to mention that my face is also very limited. If I just stay helpless and do nothing, I won't be able to fish in troubled waters and line my own pockets.
Although Kai Cao is currently poor and miserable, at least there is a skilled craftsman in the workshop who can carry out high-quality armor repair and processing. I also need someone to polish the Mingguang Armor. The basic quality of an ambitious young man is that he will not make mistakes!
While he was pondering what to do, a rough and irritable roar came from outside the official office: "Those thieves of Kai Cao, when will you pay me for my armor and equipment?"
